This report is from Robert Whetham -
see also Glyn Dawson's later report which identifies
some other survivors.
He writes "I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who could positively identify the manufacturer of the Pomalca
0-4-0T+T. It was out of service when I first saw it in 1967 and has survived surprisingly well. Not so the roster of Eten locomotives which were still in service at the same time. Jorge Cox has a small museum at Chiclin (near Trujillo), and is currently restoring the Alco 0-6-0ST+T. In addition to the locomotive, he also has a very interesting display of archaeological artefacts which are well worth the visit."

Not seen personally, but Mr. Jorge Cox who operates a museum at nearby Chiclin showed recent photos of a Plymouth 6 wheel d/m and Baldwin 0-4-4ST No. 8 which had been stored for a number of years at Pt.
Chicama.
Hacienda Paramonga
Have been told a locomotive is displayed inside the mill compound but permission is needed to enter the site so unable to confirm.
Hacienda Laredo
Unconfirmed report of a locomotive inside the mill yard. Guard denied its existence but may just have been attempting to discourage further enquiries.
